Here is the link to the article in question. It looks like they’ve since changed the image in use.

I wonder though - could each page view be considered a separate event? In which case a limit of 200€ per view could be quite significant. I highly doubt it, but it’s an interesting thought.

Hmm I think is 200€ for a refund for the use of an unauthorized image inside a case, not for every single copyright violation

The author prefers his amazing art to stay unused and gets mad at unauthorized distribution by a tiny media site in Spain. Also gets a kick of sueing people. I respect this.

But also, no need to be lile this.

Spoken like someone whose work has never been plagiarized :(

You realize that the creator of whatever original content, be it a photo or writing, is always at a huge disadvantage against the infringing party?

Infringers are like robbers in a candystore of content created for them free for taking and the propability of getting caught is like 1 in a million.

And even when caught, the chances of damages being enforced is another 1 in a million.

Now put yourself in the shoes of the creator of the photo - whose content has repeatedly being lifted without any kind of attribution, remuneration, nothing whatsoever.

And then there's people who have the audacity to call them litigous...
